<!– static –> This method creates a BaseShape from a string of well-known binary.

Remarks

This method creates a BaseShape from a string of well-known binary. Well-known binary allows you to describe geometries as a binary array. Well-known binary is useful when you want to save a geometry in an efficient format using as little space as possible. An alternative to well-known binary is well-known text, which is a textual representation of a geometry object. We have methods that work with well-known text as well.

Return Value

Return Type Description
BaseShape<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.BaseShape –> The return type is a higher level shape constructed from the well-known binary you passed into the method. Though the object is a higher level shape, such as a PolygonShape or MultiPointShape, you will need to cast it to that shape in order to use its unique properties.

Parameters

Name Type Description

GetBoundingBox()

This method calculates the smallest RectangleShape that encompasses the entire geometry.

Remarks

The GetBoundingBox method calculates the smallest RectangleShape that can encompass the entire geometry by examining each point in the geometry.

Depending on the number of PointShapes and complexity of the geometry, this operation can take longer for larger objects.

If the shape is a PointShape, then the bounding box's upper left and lower right points will be equal. This will create a RectangleShape with no area.

As this is a concrete public method that wraps a Core method, we reserve the right to add events and other logic to pre- or post-process data returned by the Core version of the method. In this way, we leave our framework open on our end, but also allow you the developer to extend our logic to suit your needs.

GetCenterPoint()

This method returns the center point of the current shape's bounding box.

Remarks

This method returns the center point of the current shape's bounding box. It is important to note that this is the center point of the bounding box. There are numerous ways to calculate the “center” of a geometry, such as its weighted center, etc. You can find other centers by examining the various methods of the shape itself.

As this is a concrete public method that wraps a Core method, we reserve the right to add events and other logic to pre- or post-process data returned by the Core version of the method.

GetClosestPointTo(BaseShape, GeographyUnit)

This method returns the point of the current shape that is closest to the target shape.

Remarks

This method returns the point of the current shape that is closest to the target shape. It is often the case that the point returned is not a point of the object itself. An example would be a line with two points that are far apart from each other. If you set the targetShape to be a point midway between the points but a short distance away from the line, the method would return a point that is on the line but not either of the two points that make up the line.

As this is a concrete public method that wraps a Core method, we reserve the right to add events and other logic to pre- or post-process data returned by the Core version of the method.

This method returns if the current shape and the targetFeature are topologically equal.

Remarks

Topologically equal means that the shapes are essentially the same. For example, let's say you have a line with two points, point A and point B. You also have another line that is made up of point A, point B and point C. Point A of line one shares the same vertex as point A of line two, and point B of line one shares the same vertex as point C of line two. They are both straight lines, so point B of line two would lie on the first line. Essentially the two lines are the same, with line 2 having just one extra point. Topologically they are the same line, so this method would return true.

Register(Feature, Feature, DistanceUnit, GeographyUnit)

This method returns a BaseShape which has been registered from its original coordinate system to another based on two anchor PointShapes.

Remarks

Registering allows you to take a geometric shape generated in a planar system and attach it to the ground in a Geographic Unit.

A common scenario is integrating geometric shapes from external programs (such as CAD software or a modeling system) and placing them onto a map. You may have the schematics of a building in a CAD system and the relationship between all the points of the building are in feet. You want to then take the CAD image and attach it to where it really exists on a map. You would use the register method to do this.

Registering is also useful for scientific modeling, where software models things such as a plume of hazardous materials or the fallout from a volcano. The modeling software typically generates these models in a fictitious planar system. You would then use the register to take the abstract model and attach it to a map with real coordinates.

By moving the pivot point outside of the center of the feature you can translate the feature in a circular motion. Moving the pivot point further outside of the center will make the circular area larger.

Validate(ShapeValidationMode)

This method returns a ShapeValidationResult based on a series of tests.

Remarks

We use this method, with the simple enumeration, internally before doing any kind of other methods on the shape. In this way, we are able to verify the integrity of the shape itself. If you wish to test things such as whether a polygon self-intersects, we invite you to call this method with the advanced ShapeValidationMode. One thing to consider is that for complex polygon shapes this operation could take some time, which is why we only run the basic, faster test. If you are dealing with polygon shapes that are suspect, we suggest you run the advanced test.

GetWellKnownBinaryCore(WkbByteOrder)

This method returns a byte array that represents the shape in well-known binary.

Remarks

This method returns a byte array that represents the shape in well-known binary. Well-known binary allows you to describe a geometry as a binary array. Well-known binary is useful when you want to save a geometry in an efficient format using as little space as possible. An alternative to well-known binary is well-known text, which is a textual representation of a geometry object. We have methods that work with well-known text as well.

Return Value

Return Type Description
Byte[]<!– System.Bytethinkgeo.mapsuite.windowsphonecore.multipointshape –> This method returns a byte array that represents the shape in well-known binary.

Parameters

Name Type Description

GetWellKnownTextCore()

This method returns the well-known text representation of this shape.

Remarks

This method returns a string that represents the shape in well-known text. Well-known text allows you to describe a geometry as a string of text. Well-known text is useful when you want to save a geometry in a format such as a text file, or when you simply want to cut and paste the text between other applications. An alternative to well-known text is well-known binary, which is a binary representation of a geometry object. We have methods that work with well-known binary as well. Below are some samples of what well-known text might look like for various kinds of geometric shapes.

IsTopologicallyEqualCore(BaseShape)

This method returns if the current shape and the targetShape are topologically equal.

Remarks

Topologically equal means that the shapes are essentially the same. For example, let's say you have a line with two points, point A and point B. You also have another line that is made up of point A, point B and point C. Point A of line one shares the same vertex as point A of line two, and point B of line one shares the same vertex as point C of line two. They are both straight lines, so point B of line two would lie on the first line. Essentially the two lines are the same, with line 2 having just one extra point. Topologically they are the same line, so this method would return true.

Overriding:

Please ensure that you validate the parameters being passed in and raise the exceptions defined above.

RegisterCore(PointShape, PointShape, DistanceUnit, GeographyUnit)

This method returns a BaseShape which has been registered from its original coordinate system to another based on two anchor PointShapes.

Remarks

Registering allows you to take a geometric shape generated in a planar system and attach it to the ground in a Geographic Unit.

A common scenario is integrating geometric shapes from external programs (such as CAD software or a modeling system) and placing them onto a map. You may have the schematics of a building in a CAD system and the relationship between all the points of the building are in feet. You want to then take the CAD image and attach it to where it really exists on a map. You would use the register method to do this.

Registering is also useful for scientific modeling, where software models things such as a plume of hazardous materials or the fallout from a volcano. The modeling software typically generates these models in a fictitious planar system. You would then use the register to take the abstract model and attach it to a map with real coordinates.

Return Value

Return Type Description
BaseShape<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.BaseShape –> This method returns a BaseShape which has been registered from its original coordinate system to another based on two anchor PointShapes.

RotateCore(PointShape, Single)

This method rotates the shape a number of degrees based on a pivot point.

Remarks

This method rotates the shape a number of degrees based on a pivot point. By placing the pivot point in the center of the shape, you can achieve in-place rotation. By moving the pivot point outside of the center of the shape, you can translate the shape in a circular motion. Moving the pivot point further outside of the center will make the circular area larger.

Return Value

Return Type Description
Void<!– System.Void –>

Parameters

Name Type Description
pivotPoint PointShape<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.PointShape –> The pivotPoint represents the center of rotation.
degreeAngle Single<!– System.Single –> The number of degrees of rotation required from 0 to 360.

TranslateByDegreeCore(Double, Double, GeographyUnit, DistanceUnit)

This method moves the shape from one location to another based on a direction in degrees and distance.

Overloads

In this overload the distance is in the same GeographicUnit as the shape.

Remarks

This method moves the base shape from one location to another, based on an angleInDegrees and distance parameter. With this overload, it is important to note that the distance units are the same GeographicUnit as the shape. For example, if your shape is in decimal degrees and you call this method with a distance of 1, you're going to move this shape 1 decimal degree in direction of the angleInDegrees. In many cases it is more useful to specify the DistanceUnit of movement, such as in miles or yards, so for these scenarios there is another overload you may want to use instead.

If you pass a distance of 0, then the operation is ignored.

Return Value

Return Type Description
Void<!– System.Void –>

Parameters

Name Type Description
distance Double<!– System.Double –> The distance is the number of units to move the shape in the angle specified. The distance unit will be the same as the GeographyUnit for the shape. The distance must be greater than or equal to 0.
angleInDegrees Double<!– System.Double –> A number between 0 and 360 degrees that represents the direction you wish to move the shape, with 0 being up.
shapeUnit GeographyUnit<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.GeographyUnit –> This is the GeographicUnit of the shape you are performing the operation on.
distanceUnit DistanceUnit<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.DistanceUnit –> This is the DistanceUnit you would like to use for the distance parameter. For example, if you select miles as your distanceUnit, then the distance will be measured in miles.

<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.BaseShape(overriden) –> Go Back

TranslateByOffsetCore(Double, Double, GeographyUnit, DistanceUnit)

This method moves the base shape from one location to another based on an X and Y offset distance.

Overloads

In this overload, the X and Y offset are based on the DistanceUnit you specify, regardless of the shape's GeographicUnit.

Remarks

This method moves the base shape from one location to another based on an X and Y offset distance. It is important to note that with this overload the X and Y offset units are based off of the distanceUnit parameter. For example if your shape is in decimal degrees and you call this method with an X offset of one and a Y offset of one and you're going to move this shape one unit of the distanceUnit in the horizontal direction and one unit of the distanceUnit in the vertical direction. In this way you can easily move a shape in decimal degrees five miles to on the X axis and 3 miles on the Y axis.

Return Value

Return Type Description
Void<!– System.Void –>

Parameters

Name Type Description
xOffsetDistance Double<!– System.Double –> This is the number of horizontal units of movement in the DistanceUnit specified as the distanceUnit.
yOffsetDistance Double<!– System.Double –> This is the number of horizontal units of movement in the DistanceUnit specified as the distanceUnit.
shapeUnit GeographyUnit<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.GeographyUnit –> This is the GeographicUnit of the shape you are performing the operation on.
distanceUnit DistanceUnit<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.DistanceUnit –> This is the DistanceUnit you would like to use as the measure of the translate. For example, if you select miles as your distanceUnit, then the xOffsetDistance and yOffsetDistance will be calculated in miles.

<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.BaseShape(overriden) –> Go Back

ValidateCore(ShapeValidationMode)

This method returns a ShapeValidationResult based on a series of tests.

Remarks

We use this method, with the simple enumeration, internally before doing any kind of other methods on the shape. In this way, we are able to verify the integrity of the shape itself. If you wish to test things such as whether a polygon self-intersects, we invite you to call this method with the advanced ShapeValidationMode. One thing to consider is that for complex polygon shapes this operation could take some time, which is why we only run the basic, faster test. If you are dealing with polygon shapes that are suspect, we suggest you run the advanced test.

Return Value

Return Type Description
ShapeValidationResult<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.ShapeValidationResult –> This method returns a ShapeValidationResult based on a series of tests.

Parameters

Name Type Description
validationMode ShapeValidationMode<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.ShapeValidationMode –> This parameter determines whether the test is simple or advanced. In some cases, the advanced tests can take some time. The simple test is designed to always be fast.
